OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1681st compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

The desk is situated in my bedroom, at the first (and top) floor, where it is usually a couple of degrees Celsius warmer than downstairs. It is Summer now and this being a countryside, naturally heated and/ or cooled house, I usually spend most of the day - when I'm not in bed - downstairs or outdoors.

Strawberries with chocolate is a combination that is usually very delicious and tempting for many palates, bathing strawberries in chocolate ganache or melted chocolate coating is a delicacy that has captivated more than one.

This morning I was watching some recipe channels on TV and some huge chocolate covered strawberries managed to make me salivate, I was so craving that I was thinking a good part of the time that today I should definitely eat strawberries with chocolate in some way.

With this in mind, I came up with the drink I am sharing with you today, a chocolate strawberry milkshakethat has managed to lift my spirits a bit and made my taste buds happy.

I am agitated in a society sustained by an unprecedented dynamism, in which signifiers emerge indefatigably. I am transfigured in the coming and going of horizons of uncertainty to transcend in the search of being, in the exacerbated and busy collectivity. The intentionality is to flow and travel in the amenity of the globalized multidimensionality, satiated with a mixture, of the dissimilar and the analogous, to appreciate the timelessness that brings us closer to the alterity.

My first Train Spotting blog! Whats up, my Hive people! Today, I'm heading to Yilan County 宜蘭 a rural place 2 hours away from Taipei.

This is a random trip, as I have been waiting for a very good weather to visit Yilan. I thought that this is the best day to go!

So I just grabbed my things and head straight to the train station without any concrete plan.

Greetings friends of the community, first It is a pleasure for me to share with you a song that I really like, not so much its sound but its lyrics and the message it carries, that is why I ask you to think about it when you listen to it, it is "No ha sido fácil" by the legendary singer-songwriter Pablo Milanés.

This song talks about how other people's thoughts influence the development of oneself but how in a certain way we seek to be as original as possible leaving behind ideologies and beliefs.

I am grateful to be here again after a while of absence, and, I want to rejoin you sharing a very special #recipe, which represents the gastronomy, culture and identity of my people; it is a delicious custard of coroba, which is the typical fruit of our region, located in the State of Bolivar Venezuela; in fact, there is a saying among the inhabitants of the village: if you come to Caicara and, eat coroba, you stay in Caicara; which is not entirely true, because my husband is from Maturin, he came to my town, but, he didn't like the coroba! He stayed because we live here, but he didn't like it! hahahahaha, well, the only thing he eats is custard!

I remember that before the official arrival of COVID-19 to my country a new Internal Auditor was appointed to the office, with this came a number of changes, among them was the proposal that I would become the area leader of a part of the office.

I've been tempted severally to make a thousand and one styles and own a variety of outfits to keep my fashion game but I realised the more I made outfits for myself, the pressure I have to own more and the more my room became cluttered, that sometimes I end up wearing a quarter of all the outfits I've ever made, sometimes I forgot I have some other outfit because I hardly wear them.

Several years have gone by since my time at a teacher training institution, whose mission is to train, promote and advance towards educational excellence. I am talking about Fe Y Alegría, an institution that is present in every country, city or town that requires it, and right where the asphalt ends. In this opportunity, I will not comment on the institution, because the topic I bring up is about these young people, who graduated with honors about twelve years ago.

We all have a personal history that makes us unique, perhaps we live in an environment where individual success is overvalued, where there are standards of beauty and youth that almost no one meets, where it seems that you must have X personality to be liked or liked by everyone.

There is a great reality: not everyone is going to like you, or maybe they do not like you, or many people do not like you, either because your personality does not match theirs and that shocks a lot and that does not mean that there is a culprit, just sometimes people are so different (have different cultures) that we can not get along, sometimes it can happen exactly the opposite are very similar personalities and therefore can not give one of the two, or perhaps one of the two feels that it is the one who always gives in.

This concludes this batch's curation report. We would like to congratulate those who are featured and supported. Keep up the good work and continue to explore Hive Communities.
